| Kevin Gallen extends Huddersfield's lead |
Sheffield Wednesday were the first team to be relegated as English Champions. Life in Division One started relatively well with a draw away at Wolverhampton Wanderers but their second game was a Yorkshire derby against Huddersfield Town.
While Wednesday had struggled the previous season, by contrast Huddersfield had just missed out on the Division One play-offs. The moods around the two clubs couldn't have been more contrasting.
Huddersfield started like a house on fire and raced into a three goal lead by forty minutes thanks to two goals from Martin Smith sandwiching Kevin Gallen's effort.
Wednesday weren't going down easy though and came back with goals from Andy Booth and Andy Hinchcliffe but too little, too late.
A third English Championship for Huddersfield.
